In the Foothills

CLOUD SONG, NOVEMBER

Just over the hills,
a scattering of wings
and white fog –
all the time in the world
to piece yourself together –
gray on white,
white on gray –
there is no pattern, clearly,
how brokenly the mist,
it pulls from branches,
its slow walk up the mountain
going, for the most part,
entirely unnoticed.
In this land of hushed giants,
in my still standing,
I remember,
I, too, once was part of sky.
